After getting into engineering mode by dialing *#*#4636#*#* And changing the preferred network to LTE only. It stays in 4g for a minute and changes itself back to 3g. Is there any way to force the LTE mode.
I guess it must be one of the ****ty work done by Oppo in the name of enhancing network experience.
There is a solution for you
1.Atfirst clear all your recent apps
2.Open the settings and mobile networks then tap on prefer network type.tapping on that it will show you the network types.keep that page and tap the home button
3.go to dialer and type *#*#4636#*#* and select lte only..
Some conditions works here... engineering mode doesn't work if the settings app not running in background....after selecting the lte only in engineering mode then go to settings in that page of network mode,you can see all the three options will be unselected..It is not so easy as you think...many t&c applied here
Its works like charm
I wanna tell you one thing.
Man you are a fcking legend.
Just got my Realme 5 pro and *#*#4636#*#* doesn't work even if the settings is running in the background. I just want to lock it on lte or lock the frequency band to lowest frequency available here in the Philippines so I can play without lag even inside our house (more like a cave). I was able to do it on my previous phones so I'm kinda starting to get disappointed with this phone.

To get the network mode menu you can edit build.prop if you're rooted.
A tool like "Android Tuner Free" makes it easy to backup your build.prop and change it, if you don't already have a favored method.
The entry to change is "ro.radio.networkmode" and it is probably set to "disable". Set it to "enable", reboot your phone, and you will have the network mode menu available. But, I'm pretty sure changes made in this menu revert upon rebooting (maybe that is what the next setting in there, "ro.radio.topreviousmode" is for - I didn't touch it).
I was wondering if there is a way to permanently select a operator?
My network operator (Play) allows free roaming on other carriers inside the country (Orange, Plus, T-Mobile)
I get horrible signal in my work and at home with my "home" carrier and I always roam on one of the others. But I have to manually select that network and every so often I get a "refreshing SIM" message and it switches back to my home carrier (Play) which then gives me 0 bars. I then have to go into settings and select a roaming partner all over again (and this happens at least 2x/day)
Is there a way (either by editing a file/deleting a file or some app) that I can force my phone to only and always roam and not connect to my home network?
pssss.... there is top secret solution... when you will be in the roaming range, go to mysterious hidden menu, called: Settings.
Then, in the section called Network, go to the Mobile networks sub section.
When you'll be there, you possibly would find the most hidden secret feature: Network operators selection mode.
when you will enter this one, you can choose between manual and automatic operator selection.
Please do not populate this advice, is for highly advanced users only, and because of that it is hidden so deeply... in the secret document called: Owner Manual.
haha funny. But if you read my post you'll see I do manually select the network, but it still kicks it over to the home network every day.
if you unticked auto mode, it should not switch back...

I did but it clicks back when there is some "refreshing sim data"
I looked more about the operator and it seems others have this issue with their android phones. It seems the operator forces a network update (I guess to cut down on their fees they pay to the other providers)
So my option would be somehow removing the home operator from the list of operators that the phone can connect to (if there is such a list) or some app that forces to only go on certain networks that I pre select. Nothing is set in the network providers as auto, everything is on manual.
Or of course change providers (but I'll have to see what the canx policy is)
Hi, I am currently using the VZW Google Edition ROM 5.9 and have service and WiFi. My problem is it only connects to 3G, and not 4G. As advised, I have not gone into network settings, but I did open Phone Info and see that it is set to LTE/CDMA auto. Any reason I am not getting LTE?
Just a thought, but maybe you could check the APN settings and see if they are different than what you should have.

Thanks for the response. I am kind of new to this, where do I check the APN settings and how do I know what I should have? Thank you.
Do you have LTE coverage in your area? If so, can you use another phone/friend to double check if LTE is working? I only ask because we had LTE go out where we live.
Gir brings up a good point, I don't have 4G where I am (and probably won't for years!), but that may be simplest as long as they use the same network (although many carriers piggyback off the same network).
The APN settings should be under "Settings > More networks > Mobile networks > Access Point Names". On a stock ROM you have to get to the actual file through ADB, you should be able to see it if you have an aftermarket ROM. The settings for the APN will depend upon Verizon. Here is a good post with APN settings for Verizon, the first part is for Android.
Coverage could always be the issue as that has plagued me more times than not.
From the ROM thread:
Go into mobile network settings.
Verify that your CDMA subscription is set to RUIM and not NV.
For good measure go into the rest of the options and set it to CDMA/LTE, automatic, and allow data roaming.
Back out to your home screen.
Then go into Phone Info app.
Scroll to bottom and tap radio off.
Open the drop down list and select CDMA/LTE auto (PRL).
Turn the radio back on.
Reboot.
Upon reboot open Phone Info again.
Verify it is set to CDMA/LTE auto (PRL)
** you should have full service now * *
** if not * *
In Phone_Info(*#*#4636#*#*):
Try CDMA auto (PRL)
Then try CDMA/GSM/LTE
If those still don't work then your nv_data needs reset. The only way to do that is in the hidden menu dialer codes in a touchwiz-stocktype rom
If you destroy your nv_data and cannot get data back via the above you need to (stop screwing with your network settings)flash back to a TW ROM, enable hidden menu, and do a NV data reset via dialer code. After doing that make sure your phone is not in modem mode under diag dialer code. Until I update this section Google is your friend. And it is available information, verified. Your lack of searching skills doesn't mean pester my inbox...
I do have LTE in my area, as I had 4G before I loaded the rom. I do not have an APN menu under mobile networks. Do you think it could help to dial *228 option 2 to update roaming? Or possibly a new 4G sim card?
Anything about updating I would research first and be wary of... A new SIM card could help, but I'm assuming it is not the problem. Did you make a NANDROID before you changed ROMs? You could then go back and see it you still got 4G to make it evident if your SIM card is the problem.
FIXED
Just needed a new sim card. Thanks guys. I appear to be receiving signal bars with my LTE on the GPE rom as well.
Hi guys,
I was having a lot of issues with my Verizon Note 2 for a while. No matter which ROM I flashed, the best connection was a less than decent 3G connection. After a lot of fooling around and looking for a fix though, I finally figured it out and now I want to share in case other people are having the same problem.
If you already checked to see that your SIM card works in another 4g phone and vice versa and that didn't tell you anything, try this:
-Go to your dialer
-press *#*#4636#*#*
-in the menu that it brings up, select phone information
-change the preferred network type to the one that applies to you (for me, it is LTE/CDMA auto (PRL) )
-make sure all the options under that network type selector are enabled (it will say turn off radio, turn off IMS, etc on the button)
-toggle the DNS check so it says "allowed"
After you did all this, you should have no connection at all. No bars. Nothing. Reboot your phone at this point and you should have your 4G!!
My DNA when turn to global mode or LTE/CDMA it become no phone wave
Then I use GMS only and it work
So my fone can't use 3G and now it run on 2G/EDGE 20kb/s very slow
Any one know this problem plz tell me how to fix , THANK ALL :laugh:
you may entering code in phone dialer
*#*#4636#*#*
you enter Testing mode menu
choose Phone information
find "set preferred network type" :
switch from GSM only to WCDMA only (or whatever that contain WCDMA)
after that you may seen that your lost signal and tadaaa... 3G appears.
you must doing this method everytime you restart your DNA.
or you simply download intelli3G from google play and switch as you want.
may this help you
